Evidence base has recently carried out a series of surveys of public,
school/childrens, academic, college and special libraries to determine the
research issues and areas of evidence based practice most relevant to
library practitioners.
Copies of the responses received from libraries from each of the sectors are
now available at http://www.ebase.uce.ac.uk/publications.htm along with an
overview comparing the responses between sectors.
These reports have information about
Research, evaluation and other evidence collection activities carried out
in the last two years
How the information gathered had been used
Plans for future activities during the coming year
Whether findings are shared with other libraries
Gaps in current knowledge
Research into electronic resources and the challenges this poses
Barriers to carrying out research, evaluation or evidence collection
activities
Identified training needs.
